I am 16 years old. I only got a few G grades in my GCSE exams (apart from getting a C grade in English) I wondered what my options are?? Are there any college courses which would be suitable and could you tell me more about them? What can someone in my situation do??Do you recommend re-sitting my GCSEs at a college?? Would this be suitable for someone with all G grades?? Can anybody out there please offer me any advice??
I live In England. GCSEs are the exams sat at the end of high school over here.
HELP! I don't know what to do!!!!

Hello
Well I dunno really what your options are. It depends on how you feel yourself. Do you like studying? Did you fail your GCSE's because you were ill, for example, or did you try really hard and have good teachers and things?
I personally, would re-sit them - at least the vital ones you need nowadays like science, maths, maybe a couple more. It might just be that your teachers were no good, you weren't motivated enough to study, or you were going through a bad patch.
I mean, I got a E in A-level physics, and that was mostly because I hated the teacher (he was a perve), didn't turn up to class and things like that. In constrast, I also got a A in geology....so bad grades don't nessescary mean you aren't bright.
That being said alot of famous/successful people didn't get GCSEs --
I mean, perhaps you'd be better off getting a job that involves something you're interested in. You can always work your way up...Often degrees, A-levels aren't all that much use nowadays and you get straddled with a debt.
Kind regards
Meri
